HISTORICAL. 

The inceptive idea for the organization of a 
" Society of Colonial Wars," seems to have been 
born at about the same time in the minds of S. 
Victor Constant and Edward Trenchard. They 
concluded to broach the subject to others, and the 
first approached were Thomas Wain-Morgan 
Draper and Charles H. Murray. A preliminary 
meeting to discuss the proposed Society was held 
on July 10th, 1892, at the office of T. Wain-Morgan 
Draper, No. 45 Broadway, New York City. There 
were present Messrs. Constant, Trenchard and 
Draper. The next three preliminary meetings 
were held at the office of Mr. Constant, and from 
then on up to the First General Court of the 
Society, held at Delmonico's, December 19th, 1892, 
all meetings were held at the office of Hon. 
Charles H. Murray in the Boreel Building, 115 
Broadway, New York City. 

The Society was instituted August 18th, 1892, 
and incorporated October 18th, 1892. 

The n imes of those who instituted the Society 
were : 

Nathan G. Pond, of Connecticut. 

Charles H. Murray, of JS'ew York. 

T. Waln-Morgan Draper, of New York. 

Satterlee Swartwout, of Connecticut. 

Frederick E. Haight, of New York.

E. C. Miller, of New Jersey. 
Samuel Victor Constant, of New York. 
Howard R. Bayne, of Virginia. 
Charles B. Miller, of New Hampshire. 
George M. Gumn, of Connecticut. 

These Gentlemen were the first Board of 
Managers, and of them the following were elected 
by the Board to serve as the first officers of the 
Society until December 19th, 1892. 

Hon. Charles H. Murray, Chairman. 
Colonel T. Waln-Morgan Draper, Secretary. 
Samuel Victor Constant, Treasurer. 
Frederick E. Haight, Registrar. 

The first decoration of the Society was a scar- 
let bow one inch wide, and of one-eighth of an inch 
ribbon, worn in the left lapel of the coat. Thirty- 
five of these were made for the Society by Mrs. 
T. Waln-Morgan Draper, and worn till the present 
rosette and insignia were adopted. 

The General Society of Colonial Wars was 
organized on May 9tli and 10th, 1893, in the Gov- 
ernor's Room, City Hall, New York, by Delegates 
from New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Massa- 
chusetts, Connecticut and the District of Columbia. 

The Society of Colonial Wars in the State of 
Colorado was instituted on April lOtli, 1896, at the 
office of Austin Goddard Gorham, 606 Boston 
Building, Denver, Colorado. The National Society 
granted the State a Charter at Philadelphia, Pa., 
May 7th, 1896. It was organized on May 22nd, 
1896, in the Reception Room of His Excellency 
14 



Govenor Albert W. Mclntyre, at the State Capitol 

in Denver, and was incorporated on June 9th, 1896.

CONSTITUTION. 



PREAMBLE. 

WHEREAS, It is desirable, that there 
should be adequate celebrations commemorative 
of the events of Colonial History happening from 
the settlement of Jamestown, Va., May 13, 1607, 
to the battle of Lexington, April 19, 1775: 

THEREFORE, The Society of Colonial 
Wars has been instituted to perpetuate the mem- 
ory of those events, and of the men who, in mili- 
tary, naval, and civil positions of high trust and 
responsibility, by their acts of counsel, assisted 
in the establishment, defense and preservation of 
the American Colonies, and were in truth the 
founders of this nation. With this end in view 
it seeks to collect and preserve manuscripts, rolls, 
relics and records; to provide suitable commemo- 
rations or memorials relating to the American 
Colonial period, and to inspire in its members 
the fraternal and patriotic spirit of their forefath- 
ers and in the community, respect and reverence 
for those whose public services made our freedom 
and unity possible.

General Information. 

The following resolution was unanimously 
adopted by the General Assembly of the Society 
at the meeting in Congress Hall, Philadelphia, 
May 7, 1896. 

Whereas, this Society is organized to cele- 
brate the brave and worthy acts of our forefathers, 
whereby this great Nation ivas founded; 

Be It Resolved by the General Assembly that 
all State Societies are asked to request their 
members to show their respect for the Flag of our 
Nation by uncovering when it is borne past them 
on military parade, and to rise when the National 
Air is being played on State occasions. 

The General Society at its meeting in Phila- 
delphia also adopted the following resolution: 

Resolved: That the Registrar General be 
authorized to charge a fee of one dollar for filing 
each application paper of new members of State 
Societies, and fifty cents for each supplementary 
paper." 

The Society's Home is at Room 605 Boston 
Building, where is its Library. 
39 



Members are earnestly requested to donate or 
loan to the Society, books, documents, papers, 
maps and pictures bearing on American History, 
Family Genealogy, and Biography. 

This Library is a public one, in the sense that 
any respectable person may come to it, to consult 
its contents, but no books or papers may be taken 
from the room, under any circumstances. The 
Library and its contents are under the care and 
charge of the Committee on Historical Documents.

Instructions as to the Wearing 
ofInsigni a. 



As supplemental to the directions of Article 
17 of the constitution, the General Council respect- 
fully recommends, for the sake of uniformity, the 
following for the guidance of members of the 
Society throughout the United States. 

1. The rosette should be worn in the left 
lapel of the coat, but never in the overcoat. 
Where members belong to several orders or socie- 
ties having rosettes, choice should be made of one 
rosette; more than one should never be worn at a 
given time. It is proper to wear rosettes with 
ordinary house or street dress. No rosette of any 
order or society should ever be worn at the same 
time with insignia. 

2. Members of the Society may wear the in- 
signa on the left breast as prescribed in the Con- 
stitution. But it is recommended that when the 
insignia of this Society is used together with the 
insignia of other orders or societies, the regul- 
ations of the United States Government for army 
officers be under stood as applicable to civilians 
also, as follows; "The badges are to be worn on 
the left breast of the coat, the tops of the ribbons 
forming a horizontal line, the outer end of which 
shall be from two to four inches (according to the 

44 



height of the wearer) below the upper line of the 
shoulder." It may be added for information that 
the government regulations further provide that 
"the ribbons be suspended from a bar of metal 
passed through their upper ends, and attached to 
the coat." Such bars of proper pattern can be 
procured by individual application to the Bailey, 
Banks & Biddle Co., Chesnut and 12th Sts.,' 
Philadelphia, 

3. Persons who are or have been State 
officers entitled under the Constitution, to wear 
the insignia suspended from a ribbon around the 
neck, are recommended for the dignity of the 
Society, to so wear it. But this ribbon should be 
used only with a dress suit or dress uniform. In 
the case of a dress suit, the insignia should be 
drawn up to within an inch of the tie. In the 
case of a uniform it should hang close to the 
opening of the military collar. 

4. Persons who are or have been General 
officers, or hold or have held such State offices as 
entitle them to wear the broad ribbon accross the 
breast, are reccommended for the dignity of the 
Society, to wear it. But this ribbon should be 
used only with a dress suit or dress uniform. In 
case of a dress suit, it should be worn under the 
waistcoat; in case of a uniform, over the coat. It 
is recommended that the neck ribbon should not 
be used at the same time with the broad ribbon. 
When the latter is worn, the insignia may be sus- 

45 



pended from the left breast, or appended to the 
broad ribbon where the latter crosses the hip. 

5. The General Council respectfully points 
out that the prestige and influence of the Society 
much depends upon the enthusiastic loyalty of 
the members everywhere to those great principals 
which look for origin to American colonial history. 
In the multiplication of patriotic societies repre- 
senting other periods and having different aims 
from those for which we stand, it is deemed pe- 
culiarly important that every member should 
possess, and should use on all suitable occasions 
the emblems and insignia of this society. It is 
hoped that members who way not have procured 
insignia already, will do so. It is desirable that 
care be evercised and effort made by all members 
to see to it, that in whatever makes for public 
recognition, this Society shall stand second 
to none.

THE LIBRARY OF THE SOCIETY OF 

COLONIAL WARS IN THE 

STATE OF COLORADO. 



{In charge of the Committee on Historical Documents.) 



The Library is in the Society's Room, 605 
Boston Block, Denver, and is open to the mem- 
bers and the public every week-day. 

There are on the shelves some two hundred 
books, principally in the lines of Genealogy and 
American History, besides many pamphlets on the 
same subjects, and some half-dozen Genealogical- 
Historical monthly and quarterly journals. 

The room has been tastefully furnished by 
the Society and individual members. Especially 
noticeable is the large and valuable collection of 
Indian clothing and weapons contributed by Lieut. 
Maury Nichols. The collection occupies three 
sections of the wall, and is one of the best in the 
city. Several rare pictures and prints occupy 
other spaces, and the room, as a whole, presents 
an appearance in perfect keeping with the aims of 
the Society.
